Students (ages 15+) will develop their instrumental and vocal abilities in the context of a band, learning to play together in an ensemble. Our goal will be to pursue musical excellence as we use our talents and gifts to glorify God. We will spend a portion of our class analyzing the lyrics of worship music in order to categorize them thematically, learning how to choose worship music that complements preaching from the Scriptures.
This class will need students that are proficient in playing piano, keyboard, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, and drums. We will also need vocalists that can both lead with the melody and sing harmony. For this reason, the class will be by director approval only.
This class will have opportunities to lead worship at ministry centers, youth groups, church retreats, etc. The worship band may also provide accompaniment for other SonShine classes as needed.
